Tooth bleaching dentistry has advanced tremendously and patients now have many choices to whiten their teeth. However, because of the way tooth enamel is made and how teeth stain, a gentle and slow method of bleaching is always the best choice. Techniques that quickly whiten teeth do not penetrate deeply and only whiten the tooth surface. This superficial whitening will not last. However, power whitening such as with Zoom 2 can often be combined with tray whitening to get the best of both worlds.

          Tooth bleaching dentistry also involves quick methods including tooth whitening toothpastes, white strips, self applied whitening gels, and professional laser and brite white bleaching. Patients have to return over and over and pay over and over again for these same procedure to be repeated. At home methods only work temporarily because the tooth bleaching gel never has enough time to penetrate into the surface of the tooth. There are many problems with laser. Light does not completely penetrate into the tooth just as light does not penetrate very deeply into a pond of water.

          The tooth bleaching dentistry that the dentists at the Atlanta Dental Group PC have prefer to use is a gentle technique which can later be inexpensively repeated when their patient wishes to regain a white smile. However, we offer both power whitening and traditional whitening so that our patients have a choice. Unfortunately, whitening does not involve changing the shape and arrangement of the teeth in a smile. In some cases, cosmetic tooth contouring can be used before whitening to help improve a patient's smile.

          The dentists at the Atlanta Dental Group PC are dedicated to their patients' good health and well being. You are welcome to join our family of patients.
